Jeremy Clarkson<\/a> has revealed that an eye-opening holiday has convinced his children to perhaps never return to the UK. <\/p>\n The Clarkson\u2019s Farm<\/a> star, 65, shares two daughters, writer and podcaster Emily, 30, and Katya, 24, as well as one son, Finlo, 27, with his ex-wife Frances Cain, whom he was married to from 1993 to 2014.<\/p>\n The former Top Gear<\/a> star has made no secret of his distaste towards the current state of the UK, especially critical of higher taxation policies and any semblance of a left-wing agenda. <\/p>\n The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, announced her Budget last week<\/a>, which promised a\u00a0\u2018three-year freeze on income tax threshold result in taxes rising.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, property and council tax have also seen increases for the wealthiest.<\/p>\n Right on cue, Clarkson has shared his discontent, slamming \u2018young people with pink hair chanting \u201ctax the rich\u201d\u2018 in his latest column for The Sunday Times<\/a>, and arguing that any budding entrepreneurs have been cut off at the knees.<\/p>\n \t\t \t\t It seems, though, that a revelatory holiday to \u2018jungle surf town\u2019 and seaside oasis Costa Rica has opened his and his children\u2019s eyes up to a whole \u2018nother world.<\/p>\n \u2018Exclusively populated by an international smorgasbord of extraordinarily beautiful, peace-loving young people,\u2019 Clarkson said that what he at first found \u2018hippyish and annoying\u2019 soon started to grow on him.<\/p>\n Reflecting on the little idyll where people rejoice in \u2018nature\u2019s bounty\u2019, spend their afternoons surfing and operate quaint businesses with \u2018one or two\u2019 shops and not a capitalistic \u2019empire\u2019 \u2013 he understood the appeal. <\/p>\n As he wrote: \u2018My own children started to buy into this. They considered not coming back to the UK, and who can blame them? <\/p>\n \t\t \t\t \u2018In the UK it\u2019s difficult to get on the bottom rung of the ladder and impossible to climb up it, because Reeves doesn\u2019t believe in that sort of thing; not at her core. It revolts her.<\/p>\n \u2018I suspect she\u2019d like it if we all adopted a Costa Rican surfer lifestyle. It\u2019s green and friendly and kind and everyone has a dog.\u2019<\/p>\n Although he spends the rest of the article admiring the merits of a quieter, slower and more humble life, he concludes by coming back around full circle by arguing someone has to make the \u2018refine the fuel for your quad bike\u2019.<\/p>\n The wealthy TV presenter and Diddly Squat Farm owner \u2013 whose net worth is an estimated \u00a355million) \u2013 is well-known for his vocal stances on various issues, and his bold decisions. <\/p>\n \t\t In the past month alone, he has announced his bid to attempt to trademark his own face <\/a>after coming across cryptocurrency<\/a> AI scams using his likeness to endorse their product. <\/p>\n And he has doubled down on his hardline 100% British products only policy<\/a> at his pub, Farmer\u2019s Dog, going as far as turning away birthday cakes that may contain non-British ingredients.<\/p>\n In fact, tonic water (which can\u2019t be made here)<\/a> is the only foreign product which makes the cut.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, he has maintained his image as a provocative figure<\/a> and in one recent column even joked about punishing people who litter the woods with helium balloons by \u2018hit[ting] the back of their hands with a hammer\u2019 . <\/p>\n He wrote: \u2018I know the parents would bleat, \u201cOh but he\u2019s only four\u201d. Yes, well now he won\u2019t do it again, will he.\u2019<\/p>\n Got a story?<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve got a celebrity story, video or pictures get in touch with the Metro.co.uk<\/a> entertainment team by emailing us celebtips@metro.co.uk, calling 020 3615 2145 or by visiting our Submit Stuff<\/a> page \u2013 we\u2019d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n Arrow Arrow Arrow![\"Emily](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/SEI_212560181-fde9-e1764520473541.jpg\")
